Requirements and Qualifications
- Any Credit is welcome - First Premier Lending has lenders that accept all types of credit and there is no initial credit check.
- Job or Regular Income - This is very important. If you do not have a job or regular income but have regular income like from social security, retirement or pension payments, it needs to be at least $1,000 a month.
- Be a U.S. Citizen and a valid social security number
- Valid Drivers License or State ID - Either of these will be needed to verify your ID.
- Bank AccountYou do need a bank account to apply for the loan because this is how lenders will deposit your cash advance.
- MetaBank Customers Are Not Eligible - If you are a Metabank customer (for example if you have their credit cards), you cannot apply for a loan from this network.
How Does the Loan Process Work?
If you are approved by a lender, you will be presented with their offer and loan details in a document. If you agree to the terms and conditions, you will then e-sign the document (make sure you save a copy of your documents in a folder on your computer).
Once you e-sign and it is approved, the loan will be deposited into your bank account (typically within one business day).
It only takes a few minutes to fill up the foams and you could very well be approved in a few minutes later by a couple of lenders. Once you e-sign your docs, fund could be available as soon as the next business day.


Pros and Cons
Pros
- Income from Employment, Self-employment or Other monthly Income - Some loan networks only accept work income and not other income like benefits from social security. First Premier Lending allows non-work income but you need a minimum of $1,000 a month of income from these sources to qualify.
- Process is Fast - The application process is fast, easy and relatively painless.
Cons
- MetaBank Customers Are Not Eligible - If you are a customer of Metabank (ie you use their products like credit cards), you cannot apply for a loan through First Premier Lending.
- Does Not Accept Applicants from AR and NY - First Premier Lending accepts applicants from all states except NY and AR.
Our Take
You just have to make sure you need their necessary requirements and you should be able to get a loan from a lender in their network. The only thing you have to be aware of is that if you are a Metabank customer, you are not eligible to apply. You have to find another network.
